Seaside the good the bad the ugly of New Urbanism

Seaside, Fla. might have been the backdrop town of Seahaven in the Oscar-nominated film “The Truman Show”, but some of the problems developers faced while creating the new-urbanist beachside community were anything but picturesque.

The Urban Land Institute heard about some of Seaside’s headaches and successes from Jacksonville attorney Doris Goldstein during its 2008 Breakfast Series kick-off Thursday. Goldstein specializes in the legal aspects of new towns, residential and mixed-use communities and condominiums and began working with Seaside’s developer in 1986.
